Wireless vs. Tethered

"True liberty means we are free to love God and to walk in the way He has prepared for us, trusting His love to take care of our need."

Lay Your Burden Down

The Lord made it clear to me this morning that even though I say I trust Him, I continue to carry my own burdens.  How do I do this?  I worry and fret, get down in the dumps.....in general, lose my peace.  So He gave me the image of two baskets. . . .

Doing Things for Others

Starting Over

Trying to Love

"They should not try to love that person (who is difficult to love), but try to become the kind of person who would love them."  --Dallas Willard

I Stand at the Door

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.  

- Revelations 3:20

Love Begets Love

“God loves what in us is not yet. 

What has still to come to birth. 

What we love in a person is what already is: 

virtue, beauty, courage, and hence our love is self-interested and fragile. 

God, loving what is not yet and putting faith in us, continually begets us since love is what begets. By giving us confidence, God helps us to be born, since love is what helps us emerge from our darkness and draws us to the light. 

And this is such a fine thing to do that God invites us to do the same.” 

Carlo Carretto
